This afternoon, Pope Francis, "after a morning spent alternating respiratory physiotherapy with prayer in the chapel, presented with an isolated attack of bronchospasm, which, however, led to an episode of vomiting with inhalation and a sudden worsening of his respiratory condition."
This is what the bulletin of the Holy See press office reports. “The Holy Father – it continues – was promptly bronchoaspirated and began non-invasive mechanical ventilation, with a good response on gas exchange. Pope Francis always remained alert and oriented, collaborating in the therapeutic maneuvers.
The prognosis therefore remains reserved. He received the Eucharist this morning,” the bulletin concludes. The same source specifies that it was a respiratory crisis “which was different from the one last Saturday.”
